An author uses literary devices to allow the reader to engage. The author uses descriptive writing to enhance the individual’s imagination. It also gives them ways to relate and a divergent way to think about writing. The three most important literary devices used in The Most Dangerous Game are similes, imagery, and foreshadowing. Richard Connell utilizes these devices to create a fun and inspiring story.…
Truman Capote’s attitude hey tries to convey in “In Cold Blood” is forgiving. In the book they KBI and the towns people mark the murderess as inhumane creatures, but later on in the story capote almost wants us to feel sorry for them because he tell us about the kind of child hood they had. I believe this aptitude he is trying to convey I captured very well in pages 252-253. In these pages Alvin Dewey is bringing Hickok and smith food because he doesn’t want them to sleep on an empty stomach. He convoy’s his attitude through imagery, detail, and tone.…
In this section, Hawthorne sets the mind-set for the "story of sorrow" that is to take after. His first passage acquaints the peruser with what some might need to consider an (or the) significant character of the work: the Puritan culture. The Puritan culture is symbolized in the main part by the plot of weeds developing so plentifully in front of the jail. By the by, nature additionally incorporates wonderful things, spoke to by the wild rosebush. The rosebush is a solid picture created by Hawthorne which, to the modern peruser, may aggregate up the entire work. In the first place it is wild; that is, it is of nature, inherent, or springing from the "footsteps of the sainted Anne Hutchinson." , using allusion. Second, as per the author, it…

Images passing, pixels accumulating on a single screen, colorful characters, and a moving image capturing the eyes of the children and the eyes of the old. One single screen to capture their eyes and their minds. A television will groom you from a boy to an adult who thinks he needs all these things, you will get a car because you saw it on the television, you will go into debt with the credit card companies you forgot to pay because you needed to buy that brand new shiny car. Richard Louv, writer of "The Last Child in the Woods" Uses three different techniques to get his point across on how humans and nature are disconnecting. He uses Logos, diction and, lastly imagery.

When is the last time that you saw a literary device? In a poem, or a novel? Perhaps a short story? Literary devices: we all use them, we all love them, but what can it really do for an author's writing? When used correctly they can add character and dimension to one's writing, but what some fail to remember is that even the best writers can fall extremely short to writing excellent literary elements. In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” Richard Connell uses literary devices such as personifications and allusions to help the reader better understand the plot and characters. Although Connell excelled in his numerous uses of personifications, his allusions he attempted were far from perfection.…
There are many different types of relationships that women wish for. Some want a man that will daunt on their every need. Other girls wish to "wear the pants" in the relationship and even occasionally women want just to live in the same household and have sex but do not seek any kind of restraining vows. In Katherina's case she wishes to be insubordinate in any type of relationship she is forced into. On the other hand Pertruchio does not wish this in his wife so he puts down his foot to show Katherina who is the dominant and who is the submissive. In Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, he uses diction and imagery to explain Katherina and Petruchio's relationship.…
The above passage demonstrates not only Richard pointing to his deformities as an excuse to his wrongdoings, but it also highlights his habit of blaming and deferring to others for his malicious deeds. He enshrines himself in self-pity and blames those around him for his shortcomings. He blames the world for not accepting him and conforming to accept him. While it may be initially compelling to fall for Richard’s rhetoric, a simple parallel can show why this method of thinking is flawed. Let’s draw the parallel between Richard and a group that is referred to as “incels”.…
“The Dark Knight,” a movie directed and produced by Christopher Nolan, depicts the way a system of justice deals with terrorism. If an archetype is defined as a symbol that exists instinctively in the collective consciousness of the human race, the terrorism in Batman The Dark Knight represents an archetype through the violence, murder of the innocent, mayhem and mass destruction. Governments often lay down laws and procedures for a country to function, and to avoid anarchy. The laws promote wellness, equality, and justice, but sometimes even these entities of justice are forced to break the law for a greater good. In contemporary U.S. history, President Barack Obama, the head of one of the most powerful countries in the world, decided to introduce a select team of individuals into Pakistan, in an illegal manner, in order to kill Osama bin Laden, the head of an international Islamic terrorist group known as al-Qaeda. In the movie these two sides of justice are represented by two “knights.” On one side, Batman, who is constantly referred to as the dark knight and on the other Harvey Dent, who is referred to as the white knight. The words “white” and “dark” have two specific connotations, one which brings to mind the concept of light, an archetype that symbolizes purity, justice, hope, and clarity. The other invokes into mind the concept of darkness, an archetype which embodies fear, ignorance, despair, and the unknown. The use of this archetypical antithesis throughout the whole movie is an allusion to the two sides of justice: the “white side” and the “dark side.” Terrorism is represented by the criminal mastermind known as “The Joker,” a cynical clown that is very similar to Islamic terrorists, an archetype of the devil figure. The most prevalent real life terrorist in current world news is Osama bin Laden, the head of al Qaeda. He plans and orders attacks onto specific targets through suicide bombings, representing the notion…
One of the most eye-catching things of Game of Thrones is the amount of wannabe kings who “claim” the iron throne is there’s. Whether it be Renly Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, Ned Stark, etc. all characters believe that their rule would be best for Westeros and would help restore peace and prosperity in the kingdoms. Much like politicians, many of these “kings” speak a lot of rhetoric but are out of touch with the position that they yearn. This can be best seen in the character of Renly Baratheon. Renly had no experience in war or fighting, which is crucial in a feudal society like that of Game of Thrones. He proclaimed himself as a king but even his own wife believed he was no true king. These characteristics would work against him, were…
The last paragraph of “His Last Game” adds a sentimental tone. The specific line that gives the audience a sense of remorse is, “What happens to what I remember? You remember it for me, okay?”. It also allows us to see that he has finally realized that his memories are what is most important to him, not only his last memories, but rather those little memories between him and his brother have shared in the past. He reminds us that the little things in life are the ones that have the greatest effect on us, these memories are going to be the ones that we remember the most.…

‘May the odds be ever in your favour”! When Effie Trinket pronounces these critical words, she is saying what is the catchphrase of the Hunger Games. The ironic part of this is quite obvious. Can we even talk about favour, or luck, when we see how people live in these districts and how the Capitol plays around them. So the question is if a rebellion of the people of Panem could be possible or even be necessary.…
